Any players not joining as a team will be divided into teams by random.org if any spaces are left (i.e. if there are 2 individuals and 8 teams joining then the 8 teams will get the slots - if 3 individuals have joined before the eighth team then they will get in first as a team) .[/b]

First Round:Two groups of four teams. Each team will play the other 3 teams in their group once. The two teams with most wins will progress. If there is a tie between teams for second place then a one-match play-off will occur between those teams (with escalating spoils). If more than two teams are tied then the play-off will be a doubles game involving all tied teams.

If there is a tie between two teams for first place then the team with the fastest win (fewest number of rounds) will win the group. If this fails to produce a winner then the winner of the group will be determined by random.org.

Semi-Finals:Winners of each group will play the runners-up from the other group. 1 match.

Final:The two semi-final winning teams will play one another. 1 match.

Matches will be Triples (obviously), Automatic and Sequential.Matches will also involve No Spoils, Chained Reinforcements and Fog of War. Play-offs matches will be Escalating (with the other settings as above).

Each team must have < 7 Medals in Triples between them (examples: 1 Gold (3), 1 Silver (2), 1 Bronze (1); 3 Silver (6); 2 Gold (6), 1 No Medal) at the time of signing-up.

A team's average score must be <2001 points at the time of signing-up (please post your points total).

Players must have a 97% attendance record, have played a minimum 25 matches, and not have dropped out from one of my tournaments previously! Freemiums welcome, although beware that the tournament starts as soon as we have enough players and 2-games-at-a-time.

Players will have 24 hours to join their matches from when the joining PM and invite is sent. Failure to do so will result in a reserve being sought (harsh, I know).

At the start of the tournament players will be required to join 2 games at once. As soon as one of these games is complete they will be required to join a third game. For the sem-final and final stages only one free slot is required.
